“What are they paying you? I want you to run {Anonymous business}”.
It was from one of the area managers of the company I us... Read more

That is a terribly vague title for a blog but it very much sums up how I feel right now.
Last night my husband and I were watching TV after a busy day of work, doggies, bike rides and making dinner. I found myself flipping through channels... Read more

Friend: "Timaru, eh? Isn't it quite hilly there?"
Me: "I don't think so, why do you say that?"

I wanted to document this experience for a number of reasons. I hope to one day look back on this and think of how far I have come. I also want others to believe in themselves and realize that any... Read more

No.
It's worth more.
$80,000 is the cut in pay that I took to leave my old job and end the cycle of madness that I had subjected myself to for nearly 6 years. Was it worth it? Yup. Would it be worth more? Yup. Happiness is price... Read more

Just a wee blog to say "hi" to everyone and check in. It's been a couple of weeks since I last wrote/checked in and it's been a bit busy. I've stagnated a bit but knowingly. I feel a bit ick right now as I ate a BUNCH of mac n cheese just now... Read more

So the last week or so has been tough. Real tough. Like really, really, really tough. Just trying to emphasize that. I went over my calories today because for the first time since I re-started back in April I actually felt, well, a little de... Read more

I ate about ten French fries at a work function tonight and felt ill afterwards. Not sure why as I still treat myself to rich foods every now and again (mainly ice cream though). Maybe it was the grease? Anyway it wasn't nice. And the same t... Read more

....and it was great! Well, that's a bit of a strange statement. I eat what I want most every night but tonight was different. We went out to dinner and I had one of my favorite meals. I came home and tracked it (estimated it is more like it... Read more

This won't be a long entry. Just a journaling of sorts. I just needed to put in writing that I feel I have made huge progress with my self-control. As those of you who have been following me on here know I just returned from a trip away. Now... Read more
